When I say "staying local", it means I actually went to this spot in MA that is about a half hour drive from where I live. I would go there more often but many more times than not, the surf is almost always better elsewhere, which usually involves a solid hour to two hour drive. Today, however, all signs were pointing to this place. I wanted to get at least one more session here before year's end and I am so stoked I did!
The last photo shows some of the amusement area signage. This place is probably best-known for Paragon Park (an amusement park that shut down in 1984) but for me, the surf is the only amusement that matters.
